Townhead, Including Townhead Cottage And Barn Attached With Garden Walls And Railings

Townhead, which includes Townhead Cottage and an attached barn, is a pair of houses and a bank barn with date stones from 1720 and 1857. The house is constructed of roughcast stone rubble, while the barn features dressed stone with sandstone dressings and has a hipped slate roof. The east elevation has two storeys and four bays, with the first bay being an extension that forms a cottage, reduced to one storey due to the high ground level; the barn is located to the north.

The windows are sashed with glazing bars, featuring paired windows on the ground floor and in the first bay, along with a small-paned fire window in the fourth bay. The entrance to the third bay has a six-fielded-panel door. There are two ashlar cross-axial stacks with moulded caps. The front garden walls are topped with plain iron railings and have rusticated gate and angle piers with ogival caps; the iron gates are adorned with decorative finials.

The barn has two windows with small-paned glazing, one of which is an insertion, and two entrances, one of which has a chamfered jamb and lintel inscribed with "I & AS/1720". There is also a winnowing door. A slate date stone on the barn is inscribed: "RICHARD GRAVE HINDSON 1857". The rear of the property features two gabled wings for the houses, while the barn entrance has a long wing to the north and an outshut under a catslide roof to the south. Most windows have small-paned glazing.
